Subj: [kl] How about 14 #'s?

If we take this to its limits, the key of C## Major would have 14 sharps,
that is, seven double sharps. Then to take the relative minor, a##, in the
melodic form the F and G would have to be triple sharped ascending!!!

With respect to the discussion of a key 8 #'s, I have a dim recollection
of reading a reference to a composer using 12 #'s, B# major, making it
probably the most difficult way of writing (or reading) in C major!

Tchaikovsky maybe? Has anyone else heard this, probably apocryphal,
story? If so, it couldn't be blamed on a badly written program.
